Whats not right ??

An incident that made me think!!!
A couple of days I took a trip back to my place by an auto, traveling by a 2 wheelers regularly gives me a fair idea of my place being around 4 kilometers change.

Have this habit of asking the auto driver is your meter correct :) ( who will say yes it is tempered) I agree it is a bit weired but you will be surprised how many of them will actually say yes, at least 6 of 10. Since it was a short distance our realization that the meter was tempered came in close to the end of trip. It had shot over by 35% . trip of 4 km cost 40 bucks, a car trip would have been better. Got down handed the correct amount , told his meter is tempered, the guy in return starts swearing aloud and the people around me think a cheapo!!! fighting with a auto drives for a sum of 5 bucks. On the challenge of taking him to the police station has no effect (you will be surprised that most of the autos are owned by policemen).On the challenge that we will retrace the trip on my vehicle to get the right distance, will pay him double if i turn out to be wrong otherwise will pay him resulted in a new session of loud swearing. eventually took off with the money I had given and continued swearing behind my back, cant say how long as his voice faded as I walked.

Who is to be blamed, we youngster of the IT industry who have more cash thus don't bother about money and paying off what ever these auto/other people demand.The government or the administration which has not established practises which check tempering or the auto drivers who want to fool the young Indians(talent - thats how we are often addressed rt!!) of this country .

There are hardly any cities where auto meter is followed, are we giving in to their demands cause we want things easy and have a CHALTA HAI attitude has only made lazy Indians taking up incorrect ways to make money. Only standing up for what is correct might bring in some much needed changes in the ways this country is run starting at the grassroots. In the end you might feel a blog for the cause of 5 bucks, well its about giving and getting what one deserves and stopping whats not right.
